**6. Short story:**
The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door. He hesitated, his heart pounding in his chest. With cautious steps, he approached the door, unsure of what awaited him. As he opened it, a faint light revealed a mysterious figure.
The stranger, cloaked in shadows, handed him a small, ancient-looking key. Without uttering a word, the visitor disappeared into the darkness. Intrigued, the man examined the key and noticed an inscription: "Unlock the door to a new beginning."
Driven by curiosity, he explored the desolate world outside, unlocking hidden chambers that held remnants of a forgotten civilization. Each door opened revealed a fragment of the past, leading him on a journey of rediscovery and hope.
In the end, the last man on Earth realized that the key symbolized not just an escape but a chance to rebuild and create a new chapter in the story of humanity. The knock that once seemed ominous turned out to be the catalyst for a brighter future.
